Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson was the President of the United States during World War I. He was the only president to come from New Jersey, and was a college professor at Princeton University.

Wilson threw thousands of people in jail for speaking out against American involvement in the war. Following the war, he pushed a racist ideology in which multinational empires were broken up in favor of smaller states with homogenous populations. His idea for the League of Nations was never ratified by the United States Senate. Wilson suffered a stroke and died shortly after World War I.
